That is not a robot. It is a tele-operated tool, related to a waldo (A waldo mimics one's movements precisely - See Heinlein's story Waldo). Call it a waldo, just to keep it simple. For example, a powered suit worn by a person is a very complex waldo.
A robot is not completely operated by a human. It can be partially so; the Mars rovers are robots that do what they are told, but interpret the commands with their own programming, as they are 45 light minutes away and cannot be controlled directly.
A robot has it's own "brain". It independently operates in its environment by its own perception and judgement.
A claw on a stick is not a robot. Words are important. These things have names, and confusing the terminology muddles communication.
